Are fuel labs supposed to be better? This is always a funny discussion because how do you make a shitty lift pump lol is there any huge differences in any of them? I know bd doesn't use a return it uses the stock return which I like about them.

I love bd I like how they use your factory return and you retain your stock filter at least I did its another line of defense and I only have to replace it once a year.

Well the main point of a lift pump is to relieve the stress on your fuel pump that and a lot of tunes require a lift pump if your pump is stock. But I agree I wouldn't run one unless I could have the filtration too.

Filtration can be added to any pump inline but a liftpump must have an air separator. imo without one it's a glorified fuel pump with zero benefits.
Fwiw my AD165 is going strong 6 years now and I wouldn't buy anything else.
Also most of these liftpump systems are coming with better filters than what the stock GM filter will catch, so it's pointless. The cat filters can't be beat in price and filtration imo

I built.my own filtration system that is cheaper a s last longer than what comes OEM on AD/Fass and the like
$50.00 between filters and filter heads plus pump and some hose

As somewhat mentioned lift pumps are about moving fuel, not filtration. A steady supply to the Cp3 keeps it healthy. And like already said you can build your own superior filtration system with a better pump for cheaper or the same price as a big brand system that will outlast it.
X2 and I had secondary filtration before I had a lift pump. Also I hate kits that have the filter hang below the frame.
Kennedy has always been great pumps, but the others have had there issues over the years. Now days I'm not sure that kennedy is any better, but it has a great history. Mine is like 8 years old with 140k even though I have had some dirty fuel that I though would take it out.

I've had a great experiences with Kennedy twin pumps. I installed one on my LLY in 2007 and have roughly 200 k trouble free miles on it. I put one on my LMM in 2013 and have about 120k on that pump now with no issues.
Many argue with me but for the money a airdog raptor with a cat adaptor and Donaldson filter is my favorite set up for the money. Once winter hits here everyone with filters on frame rail come see us for filters. I have yet had my set up gel up or a pump failure. I think fass and airdog use to small of filters. On my race truck I run a single fuel lab 200. Keeps up great with 150% injectors. But I don't drive it in the winter.
Had a Raptor (FASS) pump, loud as heck under normal conditions, failed after a couple years. You'll never get me to buy another....4G or not.
Have a Kennedy setup now. Quiet, reliable, pro install kit, it does its job. No need to say more.
Mitusa is in the garage waiting for me to someday finish the little truck. I'd always wanted one.
Use your own filter head.

I've thought about version of that for my 8.3 Cummins

It's a little gem. I'm at almost 100k with no hiccups.
Curious about the filter head comment. What do you see wrong with the one piece billet?
:beer2:
I'd rather pay the extra money knowing I'm gonna separate any water running through my fuel. And if you don't have a lift pump and use a cat filter your making your cp3 suck fuel from tank up the rails and through 2 micron cat filter lol every piece of cat equipment I've ever ran has a fuel filter usually 2 micron and a water separation filter. Blows nmy mind people run cat filter. On a lift pump hell ya but in the stock location nope. Personal preference I guess.

Ya, that came out wrong. It sounds like "Use the stock filter head". I should have said, "Buy your own filter head and make your own setup." I bought a filter head from NAPA and used that. Muchas gracias for saying something.
